Korean Natural Makeup

I've started to watch K-dramas again lately and I forgot just how much I love the Korean natural makeup. Actresses would look as if they are barely wearing much makeup yet they would look effortlessly stunning. I love that! Instead of having makeup radically changing how they look, they just look like a better version of themselves. You know what? This kind of look never goes out of style. It's incredible and absolutely fascinates me.

When I went to Seoul, I studied the makeup artist who applied my makeup very carefully. She kindly shared some awesome little tricks with me and I want to share the love with you guys.

A flawless natural look is all about reversing all the signs of poor health. Think of all the factors of poor health such as dry ashy skin, pale chapped lips and hollow eyes. When you reverse all of these, you get hydrated glowy complexion, healthy pigmented soft lips and bright awakened eyes.

This look doesn't need the glam and glitter. The end result you are trying to achieve is simply to look healthy and youthful. This look enhances your natural beauty rather than covering it. Any girl will look great with this look.

NOTE: I am not trying to be Korean. I'm simply just a girl who is fascinated with the Korean natural approach to makeup. What girl doesn't want to look effortlessly beautiful right? ^_^

You can see everything is kept to a minimum but the girls look very 'together' and polished. Brows are linear, flawless canvas and pigmented lips.

Some more tips on creating natural makeup:

- Apply foundation lightly under your eye area. Too much cake in that area will make you look older. - When applying foundation to the jaw & neck area, either use the left over foundation (from applying on your face) or use a very small amount.- When highlighting, try to use a smaller brush for better precision or your entire face will look too dewy.- Lashes are wonderful but over-doing it will make your makeup un-natural. Instead of using a mascara with dramatic volume, pick a defining mascara instead for a cleaner fresh look. - Korean girls love lip tint but it can be very drying on the lips. Hydrate your lips prioer to applying lip tint.
